Dear Wouters,

Tony Wouters,, a national of your country, who used to work with shell
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my

the Finance Company where thesehuge deposits were lodged. Where the deceased

since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account
valued at 12. 6 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can
share the money. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.
